What alternative activities or courses can be chosen for a DTV application under the Soft Power category at the Thai Embassy in Paris?

For Paris embassy, many picked Thai language, traditional massage, yoga, meditation at temple, and Thai arts like dance or instrument. Thai language school in Chiang Mai or Bangkok with six month course is often accepted, same for Wat Mahathat meditation and ITM massage school.

Make sure course gives official letter with your name, course hours, start and end date, and school licence number. Paris office likes long course with clear schedule and payment proof, plus small portfolio showing interest in activity helps a lot.

You could consider reading a book or two before your trip. I’d recommend Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon, it includes all the info and insights you need. You should check it out. A very good companion 👌.
